| Well I have been doing great with cooking from scratch and baking this week!
I have put in my freezer: leftover veggies in my container,a leftover cooked roast beef bone with roast beef to make homemade soup, homemade leftover Yorkshire Pudding to go with a future Roast beef dinner, terriyaki pork ribs, another meal of veggie rice. Last night I made Sheperds pie and I cooked up enough hamburger for two more meals. Tonight I am making homemade Pizza and I will do a double batch of dough to freeze 1/2 for future rolls or pizza etc....I have also been making sure that their are homemade cookies for lunches and after school snacks. I think today I will bake up a cake for over the weekend.
Dh took our old van to the garage where we had originally bought it and we are getting $400 for it today! Yup, that is great considering that the van was giving us heartache with having periods of not starting etc...and it was 17 years old. Out of the $400 we will put an additional $250 towards the mortgage (Principle   ) sooooooooo by next week we will have put additional on our mortgage this month a Grand Total of $750! The $150 that is left will be $50 fun money and $100 towards Ds birthday. It seems like alot for his birthday but he lives away from home in another province and I know that his car registration/plates are due.
It is so nice to get extra money to help pay towards ones debts.....Next week we will be $750 closer to freedom.
Dd 15 has a basketball game tonight so we will be heading off to watch the game at her school. Dh won't be able to go however, he is Vice President of the Soccer leagues here in our Town (plus he has been coaching for 5 years) and he has to go and help with registration this evening, actually he has been there every evening this week except for Tuesday night. He has been Vice President now for 3 years, he puts alot of time into this and I am so proud of him......Because the board/commitee volunteers, and puts so much work into keeping soccer going etc...the board members as of last year have free registration for their children up to two children......this saves us $190 a year for both of our girls. Talk about frugal for us! When we have games we always pack a homemade picnic lunch too.
Happy Frugal Friday Everyone |
